Carol Perkins: Three Dog Night Previous Column: Drop the Kleenex By Carol Perkins I spent my birthday in Huntsville at my friend Mary Alice's home. Connie Scott (art teacher) and I drove down on Saturday, and then the three of us attended a Three Dog Night concert, with the opening act The Little River Band. We were so far from the stage that we couldn't tell who the lead singer was for either. I pulled up a picture of Three Dog Night, and Danny Hutton is the only original left. Twenty-four members have come and gone, so the band, other than Danny, was more like a tribute band. I recognized a few songs before "Joy to the World" ended the night and brought us to our feet. Mary Alice was wise enough to buy two extra tickets for her son, Daniel, and his wife, Lori, so they could help navigate. The main parking lot was full by the time we arrived, so Daniel pulled up to the crew at the closed area and stumbled on his words to describe us without being too pointed, "I have some challenged ladies here. Can I drop them off?" That was our laugh for the night. When it ended, he secured a golf cart to get us near the car. Bleacher seats and aching backs are hard on the young, but for us, it was "challenging". We had two chair backs for the three of us, so periodically, we swapped. "It's your turn," one would say. "No, I'm ok. Your back is worse than mine," another replied. Connie said, "If you don't swap with me, I'm standing up." I didn't argue. When the group sang a song that repeated what sounded like 'Woe, Who', Mary Alice leaned over and said, "What was that?" I replied, "No idea." Since I couldn't hear the lyrics most of the time, knowing the words would have helped. Being together was a good time. Daniel and Lori helping cook dinner for us was a good time. Going to church, visiting her son Mark and his wife Lisa, and their children and grandchildren was a good time. (Russell was out of town.) How lucky she is to be surrounded by family.
